In other words : 'have no self respect? can't find a job among people who appreciate design? Come work with Kanye West, a man devoid of any real design intellect that is bad at his day job and therefore has no chance at his side job :)'

think of it this way. He is going to pump his money into creativity. I think it might be worthwhile to see what comes of it.

got to respect his aspirations.

i'm actually pretty excited to see what will come out of this. regardless of whether people don't appreciate him or not, i think that stepping out of the music industry and venturing into other creative fields and putting his time/money/efforts into this is a commendable thing.
